User-Generated Content / Edition 1

by Roman Espejo

Overview

Social networking, blogging, Wikipedia, viral videos, podcasting; users of the internet are becoming more active in their relationships with online content. Young people might inherit a world in which user-generated content has upended established sources of information. Yet are these forms of content the same as long-established forms? Is a political blog the same as a column in the newspaper? Is Wikipedia as reliable a source as Encyclopedia Britannica? This informative edition takes up these questions and others through conflicting viewpoint essays. Readers will gain an expansive view of a debate that reaches across multiple disciplines.
